Needed a TMO as got a held up call, some Big, big boys playing. School should be proud considering it’s only the 4th game of league ever played against academy boys playing since 5/6.

Told you the Cas boys would win. Sounds like the Welshies had a good crack though.

Got out leagued mate. Both Cas tries from offside penalties because boys  used to flooding rucks and not getting back the 10.

CAS undefeated this years and Size difference was massive mate, but shit houses after first 20 all running sideways. Didn’t like getting put up in the air running straight. Their lock choppsing and hiding behind post when Welshy JR took a scoot and went under the sticks

Good effort from the boys, they would batter them playing union, zero ball skills for in the league biys which is really unusual

Is it stupidity to trade out Haas to say Lolo then pick Haas up after origin? Or is it a silly waste of trades?

I only have 6 round 13 numbers so that’s concerning. Make it 7 if I get Elliot.

If you have the trades I think it's a sound move. Between now and the Bye, even if Haas only misses one game, Lolo beats his overall (assuming 65 pt avg vs 55 avg) then throw in the Bye too.

How are people's Mids tracking atm? Looks like if you were smart, Murray, Haas and IPap were the go. I only have IPap. Not gonna bother with the other 2 until after Origin.

It looks like bringing Lolo in is a very sound move until Round 17. But not a lot of great options outside of the Cowboys Mids and with Mann out, Max King competing for minutes now and no real cheap options, not sure which way to go. Or TPJ

Anyone I trade in to Mids has to either be worth the long haul or a cash generator. Still outside the 10k atm and double trading leaves me 20 this week.

Fifita and BroJo to Ipap and Elliot

Thoughts? Quite conflicted on trades this week

Very interesting week this week. A lot of good options to trade in, a few putting up their hand to be traded out, and whoever you don’t bring in will only be more expensive next week

Is Angus Crichton back? Is he 600k gun now? Or was that just one good game in a large sample size of bad ones this year?

5 (starts only) isn't a large sample size.

Would have loved to get him last week. before the big score, but couldn't swing it. Need a MID this week, he's top of my list.

TU:Fifita and Ilias to Lolo and Elliott
TD:Fifita to Lolo and hold the 2nd trade

I have no other way to get Hastings without sacrificing too much or round 13 players.  Hmmm....trying to find info on Brailey and there's not much.

"“I’m on track for six months so I’ll definitely be back before Round 20, but if you ask me once Round 10 rolls around I’ll have a better idea."

Started with Haas, Lolo, Mann, Ming. Picked up TPJ a while ago and traded Mann to Angus two rounds back. Mulling over Haas to iPap this week, but Mids have been the least of my problems.

I have a grudge against Crichton after last year and his suspension happy nature which will probably make me not pick him

Thanks mate. Really tossing up TPJ. I got problems everywhere but Mann out late last week meant I ran 17 so keen not to make that mistake again lol

With TPJ’s ownership growing, I hope the scorers get him soon so he starts getting awarded try saves, try assists and line breaks. Scores have been decent considering the handicap so far

Okay so I have no clue wtf the do...

Somehow forgot to trade last week which wasn't the worst thing to happen in hindsight.

BroJo and Mann my two trade out targets, just no clue who the trade in targets are. I am in desperate need of a solid mid. Playing Leo, Ming and Jing there this week. Could move iPap up to make it look a little better and run Nanai and Tuilagi at 2RF, but either wait im still left very short on good mids.

18K in the bank, any clues lads? Lolo the main one jumping out to me.

Also just realised To'o in the reserves... Any news on him over the last few pages?

Looking like will have to let Hastings go

Doing a bit of forward-thinking, and striking how few non-origin keepers there are playing the second bye:

Sharks: Hynes and possibly Talakai

Storm: all the clear keepers (Munster, Papi, Grant) are Origin. Possibly Hughes.

Knights: nobody non-origin

Souths: Cook, Murray (ie. nobody non-origin)

Tigers: Hastings if it's not a mirage

Eels: iPap, Mahoney, possibly Moses and DBrown

Broncos: nobody non-origin

Dragons: Lomax maybe

Right back at you Chewie
